Welcome, come on in...
If
you're interested in traditionally designed lapstrake boats,
you've come to the right place. And if you look a little further,
you'll find a selection of hand carved decoys as well.
Everything here is marine related.
If you're in a hurry, use these buttons,
otherwise scroll down. There is plenty to see...
BTW, the photos we use change frequently.
To make sure you are seeing the latest ones be sure
to dump your browser's cache or simply hold down the shift key when
you click reload.
Life is too short to own an ugly boat.

About Us...
We've
been in business here in Lincolnville Beach, Maine, since 1970.
On the map you'll find us on the shore of Penobscot Bay
about midway between Portland and Mt. Desert Island
...and in case you wondered, our company name derives from
the original name for this town.
Today, Duck Trap Village is situated within theTown
of Lincolnville.
Mid-Winter
now...our Matinicus Double Ender is finished and is now under cover
waiting for the return of warm weather.
Read more about these superb
sea boats.
BTW, this cedar planked boat is featured on our
latest CD.
We're
primarily boatbuilders, but these days devote most of our time
to helping others learn how to build their own boats.
If you want to contact us, you'll find an email link
as well as our address, phone, and fax numbers
on nearly every page of this site.
